Zonin� Ordinance to Chapter 3.5, Business Base Zonin� Districts, Subsection
(G) Central Communitv District and Chapter 4.5 Si�ns related to
transparencv of window si�na�e in the Downtown; and Chapter 5.1 Use

Applicant: Citv of Monticello
Planning Commission Minutes — August 4th, 2020 Page 1 � 5
Steve Grittman introduced the item for discussion. He noted the first amendment
would add clarity to Accessory Building — Major classification by adding a
condition that accessory structures will meet the building materials standards
found in Chapter 4. ll(C). This part of the code indicates that certain accessory
buildings are required to have additional fa�ade materials based on their location
and visibility. Grittman noted that the Planning Commission recently dealt with a
request that related to this issue.
The second amendment involved the sign ordinance related to window signage
and permitting. Grittman stated that window signage is generally allowed without
limit or a permit. There is an exception for window signage in the downtown as
the intent is to protect the architecture character of the area through window
exposure. Staff requested consistency with the code and the downtown plan. A
proposed ordinance amendment would require window signage in the Central
Community District to have a permit and comply with the Monticello downtown
plan. Windows signs in other districts would not be limited or require a permit.
The third amendment related to manufactured homes and manufactured home
parks. The ordinance currently discusses manufactured homes and manufactured
home parks as one. Grittman noted that manufactured homes is a style of building
and manufactured home parks relates to land use, which can cause conflicts.
Grittman notes that the intent of Section 3.11 and 5.1 is to include manufactured
home parks as a land use.
Andrew Tapper explained concerns with approving the Zoning Ordinance
amendment for requiring a permit for window signage. He noted that his
understanding from the Downtown Small Area Study is that the language is
intended for exterior finishes, including signage, but not window signage. He
reiterated his disagreement with requiring a sign permit for window signage as it
is not a part of the cohesiveness of the architecture and overreaching.
Sam Murdoff asked if there was a definition for window signage.
Angela Schumann noted that the language in the Small Area Plan is broad and
that staff have brought forward related ordinances to help achieve the vision of
that document. Schumann noted that the Zoning Ordinance does state that
window transparency in the Broadway District of the Central Community District
(CCD) is a minimum of 50 percent transparency. Schumann noted that the
Broadway corridor is intended to be a very customer, walkable, storefront area,
where people can see into the store and out. Schumann noted that prominent
window signage defeats the purpose of having retail in the downtown. Pine Street
and Walnut/Cedar Street are exempt from the proposed downtown ordinance
amendment. Schumann noted that there are business owners that don't know that
the 50 percent transparency clause exists in the Zoning Ordinance. Schumann
noted that if the ordinance passed; the focus of the permit would be to educate
property/business owners rather than enforce.
Tapper expressed requiring a permit for window signage seemed onerous and
would be a business impediment. Tapper noted that his understanding of the
Planning Commission Minutes — August 4th, 2020 Page 2 � 5
proposed ordinance would require a permit to place an open sign in the business'
storefront window. Schumann noted that staff could tweak the language to be
more specific with the Downtown Small Area Study.
Grittman provided the window signage definition written into code. Grittman
further explained the amendment and noted that City staff can manage the
permitting process or fees to make it less onerous on the property/business owner.
Sam Murdoff noted that the language, as proposed, may not be the correct trigger
to regulate signage. He explained that an enforcement issue may arise and had
concerns with property/business owners not knowing about the new ordinance.
Murdoff was not opposed to having trigging language to ensure communication
with property/business owners, but explained that the proposed language would
not be the correct process.
Sam Murdoff opened the public hearing. Hearing no comments, the public
hearing was closed.
Grittman asked if the obj ection was the fact that someone would have to get a
permit. Murdoff and Tapper agreed. Grittman noted that staff could amend the
proposed ordinance to be in compliance with the Downtown Small Area Study
and delete the requirement for a permit. Tapper asked if the Downtown Small
Area Study was codified and enforceable. Schumann stated it may be more
helpful to reference the CCD District code, which requires 50 percent
transparency in the Broadway Subdistrict of the CCD. Tapper agreed.
John Alstad asked what the intent for the permit would be. Schumann stated that
it was for compliance in the beginning, rather than the end. Alstad asked what
would occur if a property/business owner requested more than the allowable 50
percent transparency. Grittman responded that a variance would need to be
approved.
Tapper was concerned with the possibility of the City "picking and choosing"
what type of window signs could be allowed and felt it was overreaching to
require a permit. Grittman noted that the permit would be evaluated against the
code and that the permitting doesn't grant the City any more power generally than
what the code already spells out.
Grittman provided a verbal amendment of the proposed ordinance amendment.
Murdoff asked if that satisfied staf£ Staff noted that the permit requirement would
allow staff to address any overuse of window signage prior to installation. Tapper
asked if property/business owners would know about the permitting process. Ron
Hackenmueller stated it would take a while for them to understand the process
and become educated of the permit requirement. Schumann noted that for new
businesses or businesses completing rebranding; they would normally complete a
sign permit application and a revised sign permit application could include
window signage information creating compliance right away.
Planning Commission Minutes — August 4th, 2020 Page 3 � 5
Murdoff noted that on the sign permit application it could ask the applicant if they
plan to have window signage and the applicant could provide that information
voluntarily. Tapper added that instead it could reference the code section.
Murdoff asked for a better order of the signage code for window signs ensuring
that the maximum area of windows signs is identified first and then that window
signs are not considered part of the maximum sign area.
Murdoff then discussed the manufactured home parks section of the proposed
ordinance amendment. Murdoff was concerned with a potential conflict with
Chapter 3.7(I)(1)(b), Performance Based Enhancement District. Grittman noted
that cities cannot prohibit manufactured homes where we allow single-family
stick-built homes to be constructed. The way the code is written is an illegal
clause because it excludes manufactured homes as a building style. Because we
allow attached housing in this district, staff wanted to make it clear we are not
intending to allow manufacturing home parks. Murdoff thought it was odd to list
out the styles of housing and switch to a land use. Grittman stated that the way the
clause is written and the way the statute operates, unless we create an exception
for manufactured home park land use, we automatically are required to allow
manufactured homes unless we exempt out of it. Murdoff asked if that clause
could be restructured to separate styles and land use.
ANDREW TAPPER MOVED TO APPROVE RECONINIENDATION OF

NA
NA
During the regular August meeting, the Planning Commission held a hearing and
adopted the first in a series of three amendments intended to clarify various portions
of the zoning ordinance. The Commission acted to recommend approval of the
ordinance amendments for the accessory building regulations, but tabled action on an
amendment relating to the regulation of window signage and an amendment
clarifying the provisions for manufactured homes, requesting additional language
adjustments.
The Commission suggested that window signage not require a permit, but rather
provide a reference to the applicable CCD regulations. The Commission also
requested a language adjustment within the Performance Based Overlay district
which would better clarify that such uses were not permitted within the overlay.
Staff has prepared amendments which respond to the requested adjustments, shown in
redline on the attached proposed amendment.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Motion to adopt Resolution No. PC-2020-023, recommending approval of
Ordinance Na X, amending the zoning ordinance as noted, based on the findings

(I) Performance Based Enhancement District
(1) Purpose
The purpose of the Performance Based Enhancement Overlay District is to
provide for by-right development flexibility and enhancement in exchange for
meeting special design controls and/or protecting sensitive natural features. The
district is intended to create a reasonable balance between the interests of a
property owner seeking more development options on a property and the interests
of the surrounding property owners in the following ways:
(a) By encouraging a more creative approach in commercial and housing
developments that will result in quality living environments through
innovative design and aesthetic controls;
(b) By permitting a combination of housing types and styles, including single
family, two-family, and multiple family dwellings, with the exception of
manufactured homes;
(c) By allowing flexibility in design by permitting cluster developments and a
variety of architectural styles and treatments;
(d) By allowing flexibility in setback and height restrictions;
(e) By providing an eff�icient use of land resulting in more cost eff�icient
installation of utilities, streets, and other facilities;
(f) By encouraging the preservation of common open space, recreational
facilities, natural features such as woodland, wetland, and flood plain;
(g) By contributing to the tax base of the community without making undue
demands on the community services;
(h) By providing the means for greater fle�bility in environmental design than is
provided under the strict application of the Monticello zoning ordinance and

(3) Relation to Underlying Zoning District
The performance based enhancement district provides different opportunities
based on the underlying zoning district as follows:
(a) R-1 and R-2 Base Zoning Districts
Properties with a base zoning district classification of R-1 or R-2 within the
performance based enhancement district can provide a harmonious mixture of
different residential land use types to best utilize the development potential of
the land given the natural environment and existing/future adjacent land uses.
(i) Uses in general
Uses shall be governed by the regulations for the R-2 zoning district as
outlined in Tables 5-1, 5=4 and 5=6.
(ii) Allowed Density
1. The base density shall be governed by the regulations for the
underlying zoning district.
2. Adjustments to the allowed base density shall be permitted in
accordance with the provisions of the performance based
enhancement district, but in no case shall the maximum density of the
underlying zoning district be exceeded.
3. Allowed percentage reductions to base density requirements shall
always be calculated off the standard base density for the underlying
zoning district, with the sum of all allowed reductions being used to
calculate the final allowed density.
(iii) Lot Standards
1. Minimum lot size shall be equivalent to the required square feet per
unit following execution of all permitted density adjustments outlined
in Section 3.7(�(4).
2. Minimum lot width shall be based on the required minimum lot size
per the following table:

and provide for and limit the establishment of motor
vehicle oriented or dependent commercial and service
activities.

Project Description: The project adds an accessory building to the southwest
corner of the westerly parcel (of two used for this
dealership). The building would be located near the
south boundary line where there is currently a dumpster
enclosure, constructed of wood fencing material. The
Planning Commission Agenda — 09/O 1/2020
south boundary is shared with a parcel owned by the
Cornerstone auto dealership, south of which is a
commercial daycare facility. The applicants have stated
that the accessory building — at 30' square (900 square
feet), would replace the dumpster enclosure, which
would be moved to another location, perhaps off-site.
The accessory building would be constructed
specifically to house a photography facility that the
dealership uses to market its vehicles. The structure is
prefabricated with an internal turntable, on which the
vehicle sits and is photographed automatically. The
building is a metal-sided and metal-roofed structure,
proposed to be located 6 feet from the west and south
property lines.
ANALYSIS
Planned tlnit Development Amendmen�
The purpose of the PUD amendment in this case is to accommodate the installation of
an accessory building. The applicant wishes to remove the trash enclosure and add the
accessory building in its location. Accessory buildings are permitted uses in the B-3
District.
Site Access.
The accessory building would be accessed through the entrance off of Sandberg
Road. The proposed accessory building would not require a change in the site's
primary entrance. There is no public access to the proposed building; entrance to the
building is intended to be by staff only. There is no issue with the site access.
Off-Street Parkin�.
The intended use of the accessory use building does not show a need for an increase
in off-street parking needs. The use of the building is primarily contained within the
business and the applicant has stated no indication to offer the service to the public. If
the applicant offers the service to the public the demand for the service may require
an adjustment of the parking requirements.
Setbacks.
The applicable setbacks for accessory buildings is at least six feet from all lot lines.
The submitted survey shows compliance with these requirements. The existing
concrete pad under the trash enclosure currently encroaches into these setbacks,
apparently up to the adj oining property lines. This encroaching portion of the
concrete pad should be removed as a part of the project, along with any other site
encroachments, and replaced with landscaping and appropriate stormwater drainage
control as directed by the City Engineering staff.
2
Planning Commission Agenda — 09/O 1/2020
Maximum Heigh�
Detached accessory structures shall not exceed fifteen feet in height. The proposed
building height is not specified on the submitted plans, but appears to meet the height
standards at approximately 12 feet.
Trash Enclosure.
The location of the accessory use is in the current site of the trash enclosure in the
southwest corner of the property. The trash handling equipment is proposed to be
relocated off-site. The applicant should plan for any zoning approvals related to
another site location if necessary. In the alternative, a detached enclosure could be
located elsewhere in the side yard of the property. The applicant should specify an
alternative consistent with these requirements.
Finish Materia�
The proposed building is metal sided and the applicant has indicated it will match the
building to the other buildings on the property in color, using white siding with black
trim.
According to the Ordinance, buildings in B-3 Districts must adhere to the following
material requirements, per Section 4.11 (D):
(2) Buildings in these zoning districts shall maintain a high standard of
architectural and aesthetic compatibility with conforming surrounding
properties to ensure that they will not adversely impact the property values of
the abutting properties and shall have a positive impact on the public health,
safety, and general welfare, insofar as practicable.
ii. Metal exterior finishes shall be permitted only where coordinated into the
overall architectural design of the structure, such as in window and door
frames, mansard roofs or parapets, and other similar features, and in no case
shall constitute more than 15% of the total exterior finish of the building
Metal exterior finishes are permitted where they coordinate with the overall
architectural design of the structure, and don't exceed 15% of the exterior finish.
Under the PUD, the applicant seeks flexibility from this standard, suggesting that the
structure is a prefabricated unit sold by the photography vendor, and no site-built
structure meeting the City's exterior standards is possible, given the technology used
in the structure. In PUD flexibility requests, the City is required to find that the
proposed proj ect is consistent with the goals and intent of the Comprehensive Plan,
even while it may not meet the specific standards of the zoning ordinance. The
Planning Commission and City Council will need to address this aspect of the
request.
One option discussed by staff is to consider the building an interim improvement, and
consider any PUD Amendment to be an Interim Use Permit, pending alternative
construction, or relocation to a conforming building or site. The applicant has
Planning Commission Agenda — 09/O 1/2020
suggested that the structure may be temporary, moving to another site or building
long-term. If this interim option is considered as an acceptable alternative, the
Planning Commission should specify a duration of the Interim Use Permit.
Gradin�, Draina�e and tltilities.
The submitted plan does not have grading, drainage and utility plans and any
construction would be subj ect to review and comment by the City Engineer. For the
purposes of the PUD Amendment request, the City Engineer has made the following
comments:
1. Building is currently shown outside of the drainage and utility easement, if the
building location changes further review may be necessary.
2. Design drainage around new building so that it does not impact adjacent
properties.
3. Provide drainage arrows and percent slope on plans submitted for building permit.
In summary, the proposed accessory building photo studio would be a reasonably
expected use in a B-3 business district. The use is compatible with the surrounding
area which includes a commercial auto sales lot and childcare center. However, the
applicant has requested flexibility from the commercial building materials standard,
which may be considered as part of an interim condition by the City.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS

amendment to the PUD, based on findings in the resolution, and incorporating the
conditions in Exhibit Z of this report.

Photo Studio Project Plan
07/30/2020
Overview
We are applying to install a photo studio building next to our detail center/car wash across the
road from our main dealership lot. The location will allow us to wash cars and pull them directly
into the studio. The photo studio will streamline our vehicle photo process by allowing us to
take photos whenever needed, as opposed to our current process of using a third party to take
photos of our vehicles three days a week. The photo studio would improve our photo quality
and appearance and would also save us time and money by taking our photo process in-house.
Dealermade is the company who will be installing the photo studio. You can find their website
at www.dealermade.com.
Building
The building is metal-sided and has 30'x30' dimensions. We are planning on matching the
building to the colors of other buildings on the property, white with black trim.

Location

The intended location for the building is next to our detail center/car wash across the street
from our main dealership lot (1001 MN-25, Monticello MN 55362). To make room for the
studio, we will remove the dumpster enclosure in the proposed location. We have two options
on handling the garbage going forward. The first option would be to move the dumpster a%
mile away to where we have a parking lot leased where we store some of our vehicles. The
address of that location is 3939 Chelsea Rd W, Monticello, MN 55362. We would take a van to
the dumpster whenever needed. The second option would be to move the dumpster directly to
the north of the studio building.
We are also planning on rotating the orientation of the small, white storage shed 90 degrees to
align with the side of the photo studio.

The new photo studio will allow us to upload photos to our inventory instantly. It will also allow
us to offer our customers an interactive 360° view of the exterior and interior of the vehicle.

PUD Amendment to previously approved Planned Unit

December 9, 2020

Self — Storage (under development)
Mixed Use — Commercial
Vacant/Commercial
Single Family Residential
Vacant Commercial
Project Description: The applicant received a PUD approval in the summer
of 2017, with a phasing plan and approval for certain
delayed site improvements, including fencing, building
materials, and paving, among others. The applicant
then received an Adjustment to the PUD to accelerate
the phasing of the approved buildings, and delay
fencing and final landscaping improvements until
construction on Phases 2 and 3 are complete.
In this proposed PUD Amendment, the applicant is
seeking removal of the fence from the site/landscape
plan, and the addition of an on-site office location in the
first building, which had originally contained only an
unstaffed entry lobby.
Planning Commission Agenda — 09/O 1/2020
ANALYSIS
The City Council approved the Development Stage PUD for the self-storage proj ect
in August of 2017, with a series of conditions as adopted by the Planning
Commission. The Adjustment was approved by the City Council in September of
2018. The PUD Adjustment made no real substantive changes to the PUD, however,
dates specified for completion of the fencing and landscaping were moved from
September 15th of 2018 to September 15th of 2020.
The original dates were established as phasing of the buildings was initially expected
to take several years, and the site amenities were considered important to establish
and maintain an attractive site while much of the building area stood vacant pending
construction. The Adjustment acknowledged that construction of the buildings was
on a significantly faster track, and holding final site landscaping and fencing until
near completion was reasonable to avoid construction conflicts. It is common that
such amenity improvements are among that last phases of site construction.
Fencin�.
The current PUD Amendment asks for removal of the fence condition altogether.
The applicant argues that the fences applied to other properties in the area suffer from
collision and damage, in turn defeating the aesthetic purpose they are intended to
serve. For Affordable Storage, the fence was an aesthetic addition to the site, rather
than a security provision — the applicant suggested at the time that security would not
be an issue, and has reiterated that position with this new application.
As such, the question for the Planning Commission and City Council is whether the
aesthetic aspect of the fence was a key component in approving the PUD, essentially
a site planning improvement that weighted the proj ect toward meeting the
requirement for enhanced site and building design in exchange for the flexibility
otherwise provided by PUD zoning.
The fence was designed as a"wrought iron" design between masonry pillars every
100 feet along the Innsbrook and Chelsea Road frontages. The fence was intended to
supplement the proposed landscaping in screening the self-storage buildings' visual
impact from the street.
In substitute for the fence, the applicant has redesigned the landscape plan to add a 2-
foot tall natural boulder wall along the majority of the Chelsea Road frontage. This
wall would support the landscape plantings above the wall, adjacent to the drive
aisles, and permit the flattening of the area adj acent to the current pathway, replacing
a sloped and mulched area with a more level sodded grass area. In this way, the
applicant suggests that the wall replaces the "structural" element previously created
by the fence and pillars, and results in a more attractive and maintainable landscape,
both above and below the wall.
2
Planning Commission Agenda — 09/O 1/2020
In addition to the boulder wall, the applicant is proposing to add ornamental boulders
to a portion of the landscaped area, and 6 additional spruce trees along the common
boundary with the RVi center, creating a more recognizable edge between the two
properties.
Landscape/Groundcover.
The applicant also requests a slight adjustment in the ground cover portion of the
landscaping along the western boundary shared with the RVi center. On the RV side
of the shared property line, the City approved a rock mulch cover, based on the
applicant's request that plant materials would be difficult to maintain in this area as
RV units extended over the area. In this application, Affordable Storage is requesting
a similar treatment, replacing the previously approved sod with rock mulch to match
the RV ground treatment.
Office Space.
The final aspect of the Amendment is to remodel a portion of the initial entry building
to add a staffed office space. This request was based on the applicant's experience
with this and other installations. Clarifying that the office space is used as an
administrative area for the Affordable Storage use (rather than a leased office to a
non-affiliated business), there would be no issues with this change. Such offices are
common to these businesses, and a small parking area has already been made a
component of the site improvements. It is noted that the applicant will need to work
with the City to provide appropriate utility services to such a space.
The Conditions of Approval would change as follows:
1. Redesign of the site plan to accommodate 24 feet of width for all drive aisles.
2. Provision for pavement markings and bollards in the center aisle area to ensure
protection of building corners due to the curved aisle design.
3. Rock mulch in the planting areas to be larger irregular materials to protect
pathway.
4. Transition grading between phases.
5. No outdoor storage permitted.
6. No use of future phase areas until such phase is developed in accordance with the
approved plan.
7. Provide signage plans in compliance with Sign Ordinance requirements by
separate permit.
8. Site lighting in compliance with City ordinances.
9. Compliance with City Engineer's report dated July Sth, 2017.
10. Execution of development agreement.
11. Grading and restoration of the site to be completed with first phase.
12. Utilities, including curb and gutter, completed for Phases 1 and 2 with the first
phase of development.
13. The fence, as proposed at the August 2017 Planning Commission meeting, would
be deleted and replaced with the improvements shown on the landscapin�
plan dated 8/10/20, includin� the 2-foot tall boulder wall and other additions

D'���� ,���' �'��T-�� ;� *'�� r'��� In the alternative, the Commission may
require a reduced fencing component, concentrating on the corners of the
site in question.

Innsbrook Drive shall be as shown in the Planning Commission packet of August
1, 2017, and building elevations revised to clearly detail material and facades for
all building within the proj ect.

17. Modifvin� the ori�inal landscapin� plans to replace sod with rock mulch
alon� the westerlv common boundarv with the RVi center as illustrated on
the landscape plans dated 8/10/20.
Staff believes that the request is reasonable, and consistent with the original intent of
the PUD, with the noted change to the fence construction. As an alternative, the
Commission could consider removing the bulk of the fencing from the Innsbrook and
Chelsea frontages, but retaining sections as aesthetic enhancements to the landscape,
particularly at the proj ect corners.
At the time of the initial PUD approval, it was believed that enclosing the site with
fence and landscaping would leave a more ordered looking and secure site.
Modification of these improvements should be considered in view of the interest in
ensuring that PUD development includes sufficient amenities to justify flexibility
from zoning requirements in other areas.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
L Motion to adopt Resolution No. PC-2020-025, approving an Amendment to the
PUD for Affordable Storage, subj ect to the amended conditions in Exhibit Z,
including amending the fence condition to delete the fence and replace with the
improvements shown on the landscaping plan dated 8/10/20, including the 2-foot
tall boulder wall and other additions.
(Alternative: Adopt Resolution No. PC-2020-025, approving an Amendment to
the PUD for Affordable Storage, subject to the amended conditions in Exhibit Z,
including amending the fence condition to require a reduced fencing component,
concentrating on the corners of the site in question utilizing the prior approved
fence and post material design.)

City of Monticello,
Affordable Storage Monticello has been a very successful project, and the final building
phasing has been completed 2 years earlier than originally anticipated. This was our first
Storage Facility Project, and we have realized what works well, and what doesn't work. I made a
mistake in planning for a perimeter fence, and we ask that the perimeter fence be completely
removed from the plans as shown. The attached photo shows the widest portion of the property
facing Chelsea Rd. The fence would be installed between the walking path and our facility, a
general area where both the City and our snow contractor blows/piles snow. Looking at a similar
fence on the same block, it has various sections that have been smashed in, bent, or tipped
over as the result of snow. That property would look better with no fence. Further, we have
demonstrated since our first building opened for rent in January 2018, that we do not have a
security problem. We have been open for over two and a half years, have 390 tenants, and
have had only 3 police calls. Many local gas stations or box stores have more than that in 1
week. Our site is well lit, and has security cameras placed throughout the facility, and a security
gate at the front entrance. We also have a lot of natural barriers, like 2 ponds along Innsbrook
Dr on both sides of our entry gate, as well as a steep slope that will be intensively landscaped
between our perimeter curb and Chelsea Rd. We just received approval from the City of St.
Michael for a new 10 acre storage project, and we do not have a fence. We learned from our
mistakes.
Removing the fence on the NW side of the project will allow us the room to plant some
additional evergreen trees. That area was scheduled for sod, but we ask to change to stone
mulch to tie into the RV dealers stone mulch, it will be seamless. We have added some large
outcropping boulders to be placed in the landscape beds along Chelsea Rd between building 1
through 7. Because of the steep grade between building 7 through 17, we would like to add
approximately 350 ft of 2' tall boulder wall to help retain the bank, and landscaping. This will
also make maintenance of the new sod along the city walking path much easier due to softening
the grade.
Finally, we ask for your permission to have an on-site office. We are not changing the footprint
of the existing building. The new office will be located in building 1 facing the parking stalls. The
office will allow us to better serve our customers, and it is an added security feature. As we
continue to grow, and look at additional Monticello property, we may elect to have our
permanent offices elsewhere, but would like to have that option.
Thank you for your consideration,
Keith Burnham

Subdivision/Replat of a single 4.58 acre parcel into two
replatted lots in the B-4, Regional Business District,
proposed as Krishna Commercial
December 12, 2020
Places to Shop
B-4, Regional Business
The purpose of the `B-4" regional business district is to
provide for the establishment of commercial and
service activities which draw from and serve customers
from the entire community or region.

Single Family Residential

Vacant Commercial
Commercial Recreation/Indoor
Project Description: The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing
commercial parcel and relocate the existing access
drive to the new common property line. After
subdivision, the applicant has discussed development of
the easterly 2.01 acre parcel for commercial use, which
would be subject to a separate future application.
Planning Commission Agenda 09/O 1/2020
ANALYSIS
The subdivision of the proposed 4.58 acre parcel would create two separate
commercial parcels. The westerly parcel would be 2.57 acres in area, with
approximately 327 feet of frontage along the north side of School Boulevard. The
easterly parcel would be 2.01 acres in size, and have 315 feet of frontage.
As noted above, the site is zoned B-4, Regional Business. In the B-4 District, there
are no minimum lot width or area requirements. The primary consideration is
whether the proposed lot(s) will be able to accommodate a typical commercial
development without the need for extraordinary zoning flexibility or variances.
For comparison, the parcels that contain the Applebee's and Culver's restaurants in
the Jefferson Commons development area are both less than 1.5 acres in area. The
proposed 2+ acre parcels should easily accommodate a commercial development.
The applicant proposes to utilize the easterly 2.01 acre parcel (Lot 2) for a
childcare/preschool development that will be brought forward later for review. The
applicant has been working with staff to develop a site plan for that parcel, and is
awaiting plat approval before finalizing that plan and application. Childcare is a
permitted use in the B-4 District, but a conditional use permit may be required due to
the required shared access for the two parcels. The applicant has provided a site plan
for reference, but which is not part of the formal review at this time.
As a part of the current subdivision, the applicant is seeking a reduction in size of the
currently-platted drainage and utility easements that encumber a significant portion of
the east and north boundaries of the site. The e�sting easement width is 100 feet,
protecting a maj or sanitary sewer utility. The applicant has sought a reduction of that
easement to a total of 60 feet to make better use of the remaining property by giving
him additional options for building placement and has communicated with the City
Engineer on the appropriate dimensions after vacation. The easements are proposed
to be vacated in full and then re-established as proposed on the final plat. The City
Council has called for the hearing for the vacation of easements for September 28,
2020.
The existing site is relatively flat and was provided with street construction and utility
services at the time of the original development by the City of Monticello several
years ago. No new streets or utilities are required to accommodate this plat, and
grading will reflect the specific needs of the users on each of the two new parcels.
As a part of the plat approval, the applicant will be required to relocate the current
access point to a shared position along the new boundary line between the two
parcels. That construction would occur concurrent with development of the first of
the two lots, presumably with the construction of the daycare/preschool use.
2
Planning Commission Agenda 09/O 1/2020
It should be noted that the parcel is currently held by the State of Minnesota through
the tax forfeiture process. Wright County administers the forfeiture and sale process
for the state. The applicant is considering the purchase of the property through
Wright County. The City Council authorized a six-month hold on the sale of the
parcel to allow the applicant time to work through due diligence items, including the
platting process. With the sale of the parcel, prior special assessment amounts will be
paid to the city as part of the sale proceeds. However, unpaid interest from the date
of tax forfeiture (2016) to present has not been included in the property sale price at
the county. Therefore, any approval of the preliminary and final plat is contingent on
the applicant obtaining fee title to the property and payment of any unpaid interest for
the School Boulevard construction project assessment.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
L Motion to adopt Resolution No. PC 2020-026 for approval of the Preliminary Plat
for Krishna Commercial, based on the conditions identified in Exhibit Z of this
report, as well as on the findings in said Resolution.
2. Motion to deny adoption of Resolution No. PC 2020-026, for approval of the
Preliminary for Krishna Commercial, based on findings to be identified by the
Planning Commission following the public hearing.
3. Motion to table action on the Resolution, subj ect to additional information from

Re: Krishna Commercial
Narrative
We are looking to acquire the existing commercial property on the north side of School
Boulevard, located immediately east of the River City Extreme business. The existing property
is currently platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Jefferson Commons Third Addition. The existing property
is tax-forfeit and is currently owned by Wright County. We have been coordinating with city staff
regarding acquisition of this property and process necessary to accommodate the transaction.
We are also coordinating with the city EDA for assistance in this process.
We are looking to acquire the property and prepare for future site development with a Goddard
School early childhood education facility. The facility would accommodate a maximum of 144
students and employ approximately 25 people. Additional information about Goddard School
operations will be provided at the time of future site development.
The existing property is larger than our needs for a Goddard School facility, therefore we are
requesting subdivision of the existing larger parcel into two smaller parcels. We are proposing
the subdivision be processed by final plat with the name Krishna Commercial. The future
Goddard School development is proposed on the easterly of the two lots. See Concept D dated
08/07/2020 submitted with the subdivision land use application.
We are requesting approval of the Krishna Commercial subdivision such that we can market
and sell the remaining westerly lot to other commercial users. It is understood that access to
the two lots is to be shared with one access from School Boulevard. It is understood that a
Conditional Use Permit will be required at the time of site development that will address shared
access items.
Schedule for site development of the easterly lot with a future Goddard School building and site
improvements is anticipated to be 2021. We currently have another Goddard School project
under construction in Albertville that is scheduled to open for business late 2020. Market
conditions will ultimately dictate schedule for the Monticello site.
Please contact me with any questions.

The Engineering Department has reviewed the Plat dated 8/14/20 as prepared Meyer Rohlin and offers
the following comments:
General Comments
1. Easement vacation to be contingent on approved final plat being recorded with Wright
County.
2. Developer is responsible to verify if any private utilities are located within the vacated
easement. Developer provided updated preliminary plat on 8/24/20 showing that there are
no private utilities in the portion of easement being vacated.
3. Developer to provide 7.5' trail easement along School Blvd. Along the east 100' of the plat
the trail will taper from 7.5' to 0'.
4. Following the access spacing guidelines from the 2011 Transportation Plan only 1 shared
access will be allowed for the two proposed lots.
5. If the development proposal has 1 acre or more of new impervious surface volume control
(infiltration) will be required for stormwater management.
6. If the development proposal will disturb 1 acre or more an NPDES/SDS Construction Storm
Water General Permit (CSWGP) will be required.
7. A more detailed review of the development plans will be completed when the applicant
submits civil plans.
The City is not responsible for errors and omissions on the submitted plans. The owner, developer, and
engineer of record are fully responsible for changes or modifications required during construction to
meet the City's standards.
Please have the applicant provide a written response addressing the comments above. Please contact
the Engineering Department with any questions.

Round 1 engagement was conducted during COVID-19 public health restrictions, so engagement was
exclusively online. There were four surveys, with "big-picture" questions tailored to the following
stakeholder groups:
• Community members
• Employees of public, private, and nonprofit organizations
• Leaders of public, private, and nonprofit organizations
• Elected and appointed officials
Outreach and recruitment were done using a"network" approach: asking direct connections to invite and
encourage people in their networks to participate and further spread the word. Invitations were sent by
Partnership members and staff, community connections, social media, and other means.

1.4 Navigation
Following this introduction there are three additional sections that present the major themes revealed
through the first round of engagement. Please refer to the table of contents for quick navigation. In section
3. Question-by-Question Analysis, hyperlinks provide a quick link to each of the specific question prompts.
The initial round of stakeholder outreach and engagement generated more than 7,000 responses to its 18
open-ended question prompts. The focus of these prompts varied from assessments of the region's current
condition to ideas to improve the region in the future. Planning NEXT reviewed each of the responses and
developed a responsive categorization scheme. Based on this thorough reading and review, several
overarching themes have been identified. These themes are not intended as final or entirely inclusive, but
rather provide a high-level perspective on what was shared through the thousands of responses.
KEY
Umbrella TopiC (key word capturing large segments of the feedback)
Sub-topic (major sentiments within the topic) - Themes (subjective statements elaborating on the sub-topic)
Community
• Connections to people and place - Strong ties between families and their neighbors and community.
• Small town feel - Expressed across numerous scales from the rural to the neighborhoods to the
cities. Definition is relative but the sentiment is commonly expressed. As compared to other parts of
the larger metropolitan area.
• Organizations and civic infrastructure - Thick web of civic networks and organizations. Opportunities
to get involved across myriad causes in service to the local community.
• Education - Foundation for community building and connections. Opportunities to continue to grow,
improve and expand opportunities.
• Networking our assets or thinking regionally - What's thought of as ours. The opportunity to build a
bigger backyard by thinking regionally and sharing amenities and advantages.
• Regional identity - Establishing a unique and compelling identity that positions the region
competitively and clearly articulates our assets and advantages.
Opportunity
• Economic expansion and diversification - Growing the base of jobs, diversity of employers, and
opportunities for locals.
• Land planning and management - Achieve broad or specific community goals through clear
articulation of land policy; preserving open spaces, building strong neighborhoods, investing in
downtowns.
• Vibrant places and spaces - Building lively and active spaces that bring the best of what we
